Donair Dude

Like everything, it seems quality is decreasing while price is increasing. Meat used to be shaved off the rotisserie and grilled or put directly into your wrap. Now the meat gets chopped and ground then placed into an insert dish on the make line and sits there drying out and getting cold until someone orders it. After being wrapped donairs used to be toasted on the grill to perfection. Now they’re placed on a sandwich press or something and don’t get toasted or heated up at all. I think the good old days of getting authentic Mediterranean cuisine are gone and I should just lower my expectations. Donair Dude used to be good, now it is not.

This is now my favorite donair place of all that ive tried before. Had a beef pita wrap yesterday in the evening served by a nice long bearded gentleman and it was the most filling and delicious one ive had so far. Worth the the money spent! Definitely coming here again!

I must express my disappointment with the portion sizes and pricing at your establishment. I found it unreasonable to be charged $17.99 for a small shawarma with what seemed like only a half portion of extra meat. Regrettably, this experience has led me to decide not to return. Instead, I will be heading to Shawarma Point, conveniently located within walking distance from my school.

Donair Dude used to be my favourite Donair in New West. I had been anxiously waiting for them to reopen, so I finally went to try it again. I was thoroughly disappointed. The portion size used to be great, but just look at the referenced image I took of my pita. It cost basically $13 for something I could eat in two minutes it was so small. I highly recommend Shawarma Corner just up the street instead, which gives more food for cheaper.

I have been going here since it originally opened. Chicken pita is my go to as I enjoy the sauces and the just eight doneness of the chicken. The pita is finished in a sandwich iron which gives it an extra crunch.

Dec 2023: The shop is reopening after a fire. Everything is repaired. Do give some courtesy to the staff in training. Help a local business get back on their feet.

Came here before a movie last night and it was delicious. Although I had shawarma the other day, this was far more flavourful. It’s likely because the meat is also grilled further after they’ve sliced the meats off the large skewers. The sauce made all the difference along with the side tabbouleh.
I’m coming back again when in the area.

Was passing by and decided to try the donair at this location.

The shop is inside the sky train plaza passed Safeway.

Service was very good, fast and friendly.

Donair was not the same as the downtown location but it’s not bad. Depends on your taste I guess.

However this location does not have Beef meat and no pepper spread, which is disappointing. They only have Chicken and Lamb.

Since they were honest about it I won’t be taking any stars off!
